I always though noir fiction needed more groceries, but it seems the fogot the cheese! 😂

Okay, it's #introductions time! Hi 👋

I'm Badri, a #writer and #nonfiction #editor at Snipette looking to explore and highlight the interesting aspects of our world 🔦

I also #read a lot, and am always on the lookout for interesting bits of #science, #culture, #history, or #philosophy which come out at some point or other in my articles 👀

I'm also @badrihippo, but this instance, Snipetteville, is a place for all Snipette editors to hang out. We may be talking in private, but if you see a public conversation you're most welcome to join. Feel free to tag me in deep and/or lighthearted #philosophical conversations about aspects of the world 💭

(If you want to write for Snipette, DM me now!)

FYI for any #horror #writer who wants to know about where/how to find out who is accepting monthly submissions. I just replied to someone asking about them and since they're handy I'll post them here:

-Gwendolyn Kiste publishes a monthly submission round-up:

A couple of things I need to remember when I'm being down on what I'm writing:
1) It's the first draft, love. You're just getting it down. Come on, keep going.
2) The pace of this scene will seem very different when you read it back, compared to the time you're taking to write it.
3) YOU may know the plot, you might be tired of it, but the reader doesn't know. They don't know! Have fun telling them.

Obvious, maybe, but worth reminding.

Hi, I'm looking for a guinea pig concerning a little project in #selfpublishishing - I'm an illustrator and I'd like to illustrate a scene of a book - and then publish it in a speedpaint video and read the scene over it. (Illustration examples on blahmage.com) Can read german (native) and english (fluent) If anyone would like give me some of their work to try, I'd be happy hit me up!

OK writers and musicians, I just published an article on archiving/curating musical and written ideas. It’s not clickbait. @suzystarlite and I are full time artists and genuinely want to hear how you do it as it is clearly a big problem for everyone. Let’s go. #Musician #Writer #Artist #Blog #Substack #Music #Curator #FediArt #MastoArt https://vibes.starlite-campbell.com/p/the-nightmare-of-curating-musical-ideas

*script writer wanted*

It looks like there's a good #writingcommunity here so could you point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for someone who can write #scripts for a YouTube gaming channel.

The channel is already established and the #writer would have to be able to write in the same style.

The videos range from short 15 - 25 mins to long 40 - 60 minutes.

If you're interested DM me or contact: thedoomweasel@gmail.com

Really, really, really still trying to find My People here on Mastodon. Am I on the wrong server or something? I'm a self-employed #artist / #maker / #writer ... I make #ceramics ( #pottery )... dye #yarn ... #knit ... read #sciencefiction ... have two #dogs and eleven #cats ... am a recent #widow who loves to talk about what a wild ride #grief is ... and I'm a #Floridian scared shitless for my #BiPOC and #lgbtqia friends and family. Is that enough tags? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Does anyone have a good website they use for writing prompts to exercise their writing muscles?
I found a couple, they're okay.

Throw them at me, interwebs!

#writingwonders 06-20: Are there any LGBTQ+ characters in your story?

Yes quite a few! One of my MCs, Altair, is a gay man in a relationship with an asexual/biromantic man (Rigel). Gamma, another MC, is asexual. On the protagonists side, there's Halley (AroAce), Vega (Agender and Pansexual), and Spica (Nonbinary and Bisexual). On the antagonists side, there's Draco (Genderfluid and Demi-sexual), Leona (trans), Fenrir (Bisexual), and Juno (Lesbian).

It's come to my attention that it's Mastodon tradition to make an #introduction post.

I'm an #artist, #writer, and #crafter. I enjoy:

#ttrpg (#dimension20 is my current fav show)

#crochet and #bookbinding

Many genres including #horror #fantasy #history #romance #mystery #folklore

I'm #nonbinary and part of the #LGBTQ community.

Here's some of my work:

Goodmorning writers and artists,

While we don't have much snow up here in #Vermont, at least we have ice (not yet on the ponds for skating, though).

Today I resume my deep dive into Draft 6 of #HiramFalls. I keep hoping that someone will tell me what I should do and how I should do it ...

Comic Advice Big and Small!

With the new year, I am looking to get to the next level with comics. My main goal is to get more people reading my comics. So I am looking for all tips big and small. I want to collect them all and then really look at what I can or can't do and then go from there.

Alright, finally going to introduce myself around here:

I'm Lannan! I'm a #comic creator, #painter, #illustrator, #writer, #sewist, and #MixedMedia dabbler! A lot of my work is inspired by the Weird, the Wacky, the Wondrous, and very occasionally, the sublime. (There's also fanart sometimes.)

I'm interested in #NaturalMedia, #PaintMaking, #ForagedColor, and #OrganicMaterials with my traditional work.

I’ve been here for 4 days now. I’ve embarrassed myself twice, made new #writer #sapphic & #art friends 🍻, found other folks from the #caribbean 🇯🇲, and ⭐️’d countless pics of #pets. Am I a veteran yet?

Dipping my toe into the Mastodon waters, is anyone there?

Here's my #introduction post!

I am a consummate dabbler in creative arts and constant re-inventor of self. A #journalist for 14 years, now a #writer, #editor and pen-for-hire. Currently producing my first TV series.

For fun, I can be found #writing or #narrating on the collaborative storytelling site #Storium, or reading the #tarot. My first novel about grief and ghosts was shortlisted for Fixi Novo's Malaysian Novel Contest.

I'm from #Sarawak, #Malaysia.

Come say hi!

Hi my name is Ralf Singh and I am a #comic #writer and #artist from Germany. Atm I am writing and coloring a pitch for a coming of age action/romance story at #webtoon with some #queer #lgtbq main characters. The artwork is from my friend Nina.

Hello, s'mae. #introduction I'm originally from London, but I've been in Gwynedd for 22 years. I do miss London, but it doesn't feel like home to me anymore. I am an unpublished story & poetry #writer but write far more letters to people around the world and enjoy #photography and much much more.

so I've found my astronomy peeps. But where are my fiction writing peeps? I write sci-fi/horror and love to mix the two. #writing #writer #twittermigration

A scene from my german #debut #novel #Schicksalsweber
I loved to doodle while #writing and i still do. When i was in edit mode for #Schicksalsweber I often made a picture after finishing a chapter and i think about including some of them into the book.

✨#introduction ✨
Hello everyone! I'm Greg, and I'm a writer looking for a nice home and community. I’m mostly a #scifi writer (and reader/watcher) and have been working on flash fiction and poetry as of late, on my way to working up towards longer fiction.

Here’s a small sample of some recent #haiku, ranging from #fanfiction for #Cyberpunk2077 to random #photography moments. (At which I’m trying to get better, and marry it to my love of writing.)
